The other one is All Summer In A Day by Ray Bradbury.
Those three stories ("Time Enough At Last", All Summer in A Day, and The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas) were brain-hurtingly sad stories that I couldn't deal with, wrecking me in Elementary, Mid…
Scrooge is, traditionally, supposed to be a lovable a-hole with almost no empathy for anyone who isn't an employee or his family, and very limited empathy for those who are.
In the original Ducktales show's first episode, when Scrooge is asked to do…
So I’ve made a Sim called Chad Casanova, who’s sole purpose in life is to impregnate as many women as possible.
He’s charismatic, flirty, a great kisser, ambitious, and has commitment issues. I gave him some boosters to make his extra seductive an…
Honestly, I think describing camera shots goes against the whole "only transcripts of stupid dialogue" thing that Facepalm Studios does all the time with the trailers, but this one didn't work with just dialogue.

From Facepalm Studios, the studio that brought you The Sound And The Fury 2: 2 Furious 2 Sound comes

Former Citizen Of Omelas 1: "Alright, fellas, the day has come. It's been too long, but we now have the numbers-"

Hey, I know that guy! He's a well-known caterer, and though he's more likely to make you some warm danishes than some warm cookies, he's a very nice person.

This is a fascinating article which contains this scary image:
Thanks, Odradek.
I know people have strong opinions on women's choices and reproductive rights, but I don't think I can be objective about this, and I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but I still feel a need to talk about this issue even thoug…
I'm not a freak! I can live my life without anybody knowing these kind of things unless I tell them!
Insincere apologies to Iceland and Australia for singling them out when they aren't the only nations with such eugenic tendencies.
One of the things I hate most in fiction is when a character has the wrong number of chromosomes and it's treated as an explanation for why said character is evil.
Another thing I hate is when having the wrong number of chromosomes is treated as a h…

So, about Disney owning Star Wars and the end of time in that other thread...
I used to always play Age of Empires II on Halloween, back in High School. It's my favorite game, the game that I watched my brother play when I was little, the game that…
The originals and prequels still exist, and nobody can take that from us.
And nothing Disney could do would ever reach the depths that is the Holiday Special.
No, I have no hope, but today is not the day I give up on what I love.
You're confused, more than I am or ever was, if you think this is the end of My Little Pony. It existed before this iteration, and will continue through other iterations.
Well, you could start from the beginning, and you'll always have the fun, the stories, and the ideas it inspired along the way.
All good stories must end eventually, sad as it may be, but what matters is that you got to partake of the journey.

They discovered 20 new moons of Saturn.
Well, not NASA, but still, it's a space thing.
Also, thread rule: Pluto is the ninth, final, and smallest planet of the Solar System.
Facepalm Studios actually did make a series of movies that was an adaptation of the Horus Heresy from Warhammer 40,000, but it was not a critical or financial success.
Audiences didn't like the tale of Papa Emps's Pizza Emporium and the twenty-one w…
As a library worker myself, yeah, don't read the books where they can see you. That's the biggest pet peeve of the desk clerks. Only they get to read on the job, not the pages.
Bwahahahahaha! I'm going to steal things and put them where they belong, which, of course, is where they were first come up with! And I ended that sentence with two prepositions!
*I steal all the aircraft and put them in France*
*I steal all the r…
